Drastic improvements
04/13/2019

Original Review: This year they dropped support for ps3 and Xbox 360. Due to this I was given the opportunity to experience how terrible using the app to watch a replay is. No period start selection. Absolutely garbage scrubbing controls. The -10 sec button often reverts back to the beginning of the game. The one positive is the streaming feed has less jumps and quality drops than the console apps had during live games.Almost forgot the constant notifications telling you if you want to see the notification content to turn off “hide scores”. How about not sending score notifications instead when hide scores is set?Update: The casting video player is fantastic. 10 second buttons have been replaced with 30 second buttons that actually work. The slider is much smoother and loads the video perfectly and at the correct time that is showing when you lift your finger up. Would still love to see the addition of the period start selection and ceasing score notifications when scores are turned off but I’m very happy with the recent changes.

The App used to be alright. But updates have made it pretty terrible. Navigation has becoming even less intuitive. But my biggest complaint is the audio option to listen to the games. They updated it in a way that was a huge step backwards in three major ways: 1 - when listening to a game, you can no longer do anything else within the app. If you exit the audio stops. It’s not just not being able to read articles. You can’t follow the gameflow or anything else for the game you’re listening to. 2 - in previous years, there used to be an option for which feed you wanted to listen to. Two teams, two radio feeds, each local to the contenders. If you want to listen to your team’s commentators great. If you wanted a choice in case those guys are boring, it was there….. not anymore. One and done. 3 - and the most unacceptable, there hasn’t been a single time that I have tried to listen to games this season where they had the wrong audio linked to the game i clicked. And I’m not saying the app says I’ll be listening to the Chicago feed against Detroit and getting Detroit’s feed. I’m saying it will be the link for the Chicago feed for Chicago v Detroit and the feed will be a Pittsburgh local feed for Pens v Caps. That’s just pathetic. Amateur Hour folks. Disappointing. . . . **Update** They seem to have fixed the first of my three audio complaints. *** Update *** since the update from a couple weeks ago, the app just doesn't work anymore on my phone. It goes to boot up and just closes itself.*** update ***The app is functioning. The audio quality is solid and the listen button is easily accessible. Overall I think they did a good job making the app look and feel more intuitive than it had been.

Crashes more than Chris Kreider does into Goalies

I use this app a lot to stream games because Xfinity is way too expensive and the games aren’t in HD... But if there was any other reliable options to watch I’d probably go with that. The NHL app works half of the time which is why I gave it three stars and no more. When the app works it’s awesome, 95% of the time the stream is clear and the other 5% is just because of our internet so I can’t blame them on that. I love how it’s set up where you can see standings, League news and news about your single team! BUT... And this is a big but, IT CRASHES HALF THE TIME, I’ll think to myself, “HMMM I wonder what the scores are tonight” and these are the three things that happen... It either just won’t load, the app will load and you’ll see the home screen for a second and then it’ll crash OR when I press to see the scores it crashes. I don’t mind having to google scores but isn’t the point of the app to make it easier on the users to have info and entertainment easily accessible? Also like 15% of the time when we try to stream it’ll say we’re streaming the game but it’ll just show the two team logos and the NHL shield in the middle and will do nothing... Again when the app works it’s great but I find it not working A LOT

Update is Awful

I’ve had the NHL App for a quite a few seasons now, and it’s been great. However, the new update is horrible. I have a pretty busy life, so I can’t always sit down and watch a game. The radio feature was great for this because I could still listen to the game. The radio feature has since been removed with the update, and I know a lot of people are upset over it. The live scores have also taken a hit with the update. The timer is no longer as accurate, and it does not tell you if a team is on a power play, 3 on 5, etc. I tried to look at the stats of a player last night, and it took me to the NHL WEBSITE. Personally, if you’re going to have an app, everything should be IN the app. Taking me to the NHL website is ridiculous. Not to mention that they have limited the amount of teams you can follow. As someone who likes to keep updated on many teams, this is an awful feature. You used to be able to favorite and follow as many teams as you’d like. Now, you can only follow four and favorite one of those four. Overall, the new update is absolutely terrible. It changed a good functioning app to one that is practically useless. They oversimplified everything to the point that there’s no need for it. I could probably get more information on Twitter or X at this point.
